An incredibly sad discovery. I will look. I’ve kept three soda cans that were sealed empty. I’ve got a few small bottles but my favorite piece is a slightly broken cup used to test gold ore. My grandfather was a gold miner.

Lol I was a copper miner. I worked in mines of one sort or another for my working life. Mostly copper in Arizona until 1984 then gold and nickel finally. They kept closing them down on me except the gold mine which I left for a higher pay rate.
